Watermelon Cucumber Cooler

We are coming off a streak of seriously hot and humid weather. Or what the weather forecasters like to call “oppressive”. And what I like to call “frizzy hair and shiny, sweaty skin for everyone”.

You’re totally jealous, right?

Needless to say, staying cool and hydrated has been a major priority for me these past couple of days. So I’ve been sipping on these Watermelon Cucumber Coolers like it’s my job. Um…which it kind of is I guess.

People. Listen up. This drink has only four ingredients. FOUR! It doesn’t get much easier than that. All you need is some juicy watermelon (which I like to toss in my freezer for at least 30 minutes before blending it up to help keep this drink as cold as possible), cucumber, fresh ginger and Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original.

This Watermelon Cucumber Cooler is a serious thirst quencher, even on the hottest of days. And thanks to the Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original, it doesn’t feel all watered down. It has just enough body to it. Kind of like me. Ha!

OK, sorry. I’m really lame. So this is probably a good place to stop, before I get too carried away with my own silliness.

Stay cool, friends! And have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Liz

Watermelon Cucumber Cooler

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 cups cubed watermelon

1 cup roughly chopped cucumber

1/2 cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original

1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

Instructions

Place the cubed watermelon in your freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill.

Add the chilled watermelon and the remaining ingredients to your blender. Blend on high until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

1. In addition to chilling the watermelon in the freezer, make sure all your other ingredients are cold to help keep this drink super refreshing!

You had me at 4 ingredients. I started swooning and neeeeeeding this after I read what the 4 ingredients were. These sound amazingly delish and refreshing! Love the addition of ginger! I’m totally going to be pouring myself a tall glass (or 4) of these today. Might as well sip on something fantastic while I rock frizzy hair and shiny, sweaty skin. Cheers, Liz- to staying cool ♡

Ugh same here. except I secretly kind of love it. Of course only when I don’t have to be outside longer than an hour. But if I have a body of water near by…bring it on! I can totally picture myself in a lounger sipping on one of these bad boys just taking it all in…

I could never cut it in humid weather. My hair would be a puff ball! Hope you’re staying cool. This drink sounds so refreshing! It’s 100 degrees today in California. I could realllly use this about now!

Am I sceptical?! Not at all! I’m super excited though because it’s watermelon! I’ve been having a kick recently on incorporating fruit in poultry and meat, but I would have never figured out to add watermelon. It sounds almost insane and fabulous at the same time!:) Awesome work, Liz!
